A person who was stopped by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Sanford is accused of backing into an ICE vehicle with a 1-year-old passenger inside.

Sanford police said officers responded to Brook Street, near the High Street intersection, shortly before 9:20 a.m. Thursday at the request of ICE agents, who had a person in custody.

ICE agents told Sanford police they made a traffic stop and positioned one of their vehicles in front of the detainee's vehicle and another ICE vehicle behind, police said.
